OTC Tools 3208 OBD II & ABS Scan Tool with Enhanced Engine and Transmission Codes, Blue

Works perfect, just what I needed to see what was wrong with my car and why the check engine light was on

Otc is a good brand garages use it. Dont want to go to the obd 11 for a few more dollars and have to do updates. Half of them on updates get worse or dont work. This will do it all as far as resetting tranny codes haven't seen one that will reset in the upper cheaper models. A snapon for about 5000 dollars that's the big hand held does it all. New vehicles are total junk on tranny change. Get a snapon or pay a dealer 250 to reset .while your at it get a scanner to and a friend to drive around with so you can read the scanner while he drives. All new trannies have to be driven to reprogram shift points. Must be done right most dealer mechanics need to go back to school. Not 3000 miles and tranny is back to normal. It a quick process not a forever one. 6 speeds are junk get a real good tranny rebuilder. A junk yard tranny stay away buy a new suv or go back to old school antique cars. Once the the tranny is reprogrammed and shifts are hard your tranny needs a rebuild. Sensors will stop it from shifting. 3 sensors to a 6 speed. What ever ones are not working any two gears that dont shift. A snapon will do it read the input to the output sensors and shaft sensor and a real code will pop. Motor this is all you need to change parts to the codes your showing and reset computer light and your good to go. Google the code change your part reset and drive you should be good this is all you need.

I was skeptical about buying but I needed something that read abs on 2008 gmc sierra 1500. Had traction control light stablitrack and abs light on and would not go off but was not causing drive issues. I searched internet about issues and gave a lot of scenarios so didn't want to throw money away so ordered this tool even though some review said it did not read abs codes. I got it hooked up and answered questions as they came up.. Next it found my abs code which it said brake switch bad. Kind of confusing cause brakes worked. I went to dealership bought new switch for 25 dollars took 15 minutes to install and solve all the issues. Thankful I bought it

Great and despite what you read, it can read codes and doesn't require any pesky setup or internet connection.

My father had this same tool and swore by it. I found it online for 1/5 the price he bought his for and it’s the same model. I’m very happy that I now have a code reader of my own and something that I know my dad uses and swears by. Highly recommend.Also I did try to take my vehicle to a local auto parts chain store that does code reading for you for free. Their reader did not clear the codes nor read as much info as this one does. A+ product.

The booklet that comes with the scanner states ABS,OBDII and CAN Scan Tool-Model OTC3208. I could not get a reading by a general scan or by entering my make and model. I went to the Tool Information section to display SWID (software) and it stated I had no software to check for ABS. The current software version is 4A14. It would have to be Updated--and how?

Kinda sucks when it doesn’t work for your vehicle

I want to make a point of clarification for the people that wrote that it doesn't work to check ABS on their vehicle. I bought this a year ago and was pissed when I thought it couldn't either only to realize I wasn't setting it up correctly. It is a little confusing. When asking about ABS codes it gives the options of OBD2/EOBD, US, EUROPE, and ASIA. I initially chose OBD2/EOBD and I also was greeted with the ABS not detected. I then went in and chose US and it asked for year, make, and model in which my case was a 2001 Buick LeSabre and then it worked fine. I'm guessing that was also the case with the other negative users. I've used it on many others since and checked it both ways and it always worked going through the US path. I have not checked on an Asian or European vehicle yet, so don't know for that. Not even what the OBD2/EOBD pick is for as it has never linked on any I have tried. Otherwise works great.
